    Just wondered. I can't wear plated (even the nickel free ones <confused>). Novelty earrings aren'y my thing but I will be keeping a close eye on the site;)

    well i do a mixture to suit everyones pocket ;) if there is a plated pair that comes on the site you like I can always remake in sterling.

    I'm best with titanium I also have a problem even with nickel free stuff. Not as much choice in titanium but it's a good choice for me.

    plated and sterling why? plated are nickle free

    To behonest I kind of got out of the habit of wearing earrings cos I keep losing one:o I tend to stick to sleepers (if I remember to put them in) and suffer for costume ones on a night out:cool:

  • Post has finally arrived - loads of it. Funny how you get loads after a few days without - but they DO deliver every day don't they? ;)
    CRB lady also arrived - she forgot! Still, at least it is done now.

    Need to load up the car and trot off to see the boss now. Need to go via Tesco to see if they have any cheap trousers for Friday.

    Arrgghh, BB, the lyrics in your sig are from one of my very favourite songs and one that has an awful lot of meaning for me. I just had to fight not to well up. :o

    I hope the holiday is a catalyst in a good way.

    My thoughts are with you and your friend, SRM.

    Squizz, have you changed jobs again? Or am I just getting confused now? :)

    I am about to start decorating my bathroom. Well, to be honest, my Dad is going to be doing most of it, as I can't plumb or tile, but I can paint!

    I was going to go with something very safe and neutral but then I started Googling for ideas and am wondering now whether to go for a stronger colour (floor is wood effect laminate and suite is white, and half of the room will also be tiled in white tiles).

    I love this colour but am not sure it would look right in my house:

    Or this:

    Or this:

    Sigghhh, I am rubbish at this sort of thing. :o:o

  • Claire after much fist waving at my computer, I've finally been able to view your website and I LOVE the lemon heart earings.

    If they are still there after my exam, I might have to treat myself.
  • I love the top one Snags. Blue might be a bit 'cold' in a bathroom?

    They are all nice Snaggles - I prefer the top two, although I think the top one would be better in a large room.. how big is your bathroom?

    I'm still in the same job but my 'team' which did consist of me and my manager, has been disbanded as my manager has been moved to another dept. I've been moved into a new team of 12 (I think) people which should be a bit more sociable :)

    Luc & BB, I'm the same, I can only wear silver or gold earrings - don't think I've tried titanium though. Or platinum! Had some not much fun experiences with cheap earrings when I was a teenager - ouch.

  • Woohoo!!! My landlord's finally gone away! So I can cook again! :j :j :j So I've had porridge for breakfast and called up the student loans company to sort out a small problem regarding attendence which has delayed my loan. I'm now going to call a few utility people to tie up some loose ends from my last house, put some washing in, wash some pots and at 4:30, I'll be cooking chilli for dinner! :j

    LMC, sorry to hear you're struggling with your studying. I'm a lot more motivated now after having a few months break, and looking forward to getting stuck in again instead of it just being another chore.

    I'm happy, I've just bought these boots but in a grey suedette material, for £9, perfect for winter and a bargain too!
